        "summary": "Severe passenger overcrowding struck the Transjakarta Velbak bus stop on Friday morning after flooding near Swadarma caused delays across multiple corridor 13 services, with queues stretching back to the pedestrian bridge linking Kebayoran bus stop and train station. The incident highlights the fragility of Jakarta's public transport network, where localised flooding can rapidly cascade into system-wide disruption during peak commuting hours.",
